Hi list, I'm writing a batch file that will expect some arguments. The number of arguments can vary, however. Like, someone may enter any of these three things, for example: file.bat Arg1 Username Password Date1 Date2 Date3 Date4 file.bat Arg1 Username Password Date1 file.bat Arg1 Username Password What I want to do would essentially be: Set Arg1=%1 Set User=%2 Set Pass=%3 Set Dates=%TheRest Does anyone know how I can get the rest? I know I can use %* for everything or %[number] for a specific argument, but is there a way to grab all arguments beyond #3 and stick them in one variable?
